Background

In her mid-teens, Ciara formed the all-girl group Hearsay with two of her friends. The group recorded demos, but as time went on, they began to have differences and eventually parted ways. " Billboard.com Biography – Ciara" ''Billboard''. Retrieved 2006-12-14. Despite this setback, Ciara was still determined to reach her goal and signed a publishing deal as a songwriter. After leaving the group Hearsay, Texas native Ciara earned a writing job via her manager, for Atlanta's Tricky Stewart and The-Dream's RedZone Entertainment, penning songs for Mýa and Fantasia among others. According to Ciara, no one believed in her dreams of hearing her own music on the radio until she met producer

in 2002. Within five months of meeting her, Pha signed her to his Sho'nuff label and they had already recorded five tracks. About Ciara, Jazze Pha said, "What was really lacking is the

, who also produced and was featured on "Yeah", began to work on the full record, to have it released on LaFace. Originally, Ciara was reluctant to work with the track produced by Lil Jon, reportedly disliking crunk music at first. However, she decided to use the song to go against the grain and deliver lyrics in contrast of female promiscuity lines delivered by fellow female artists. To give her a title to stand out, Lil Jon dubbed Ciara as the "Princess of Crunk&B." Dubbed the female counterpart to "Yeah" and fellow crunk hit " Freek-a-Leek" by Petey Pablo, Laface looked to capitalize on the success of the previous songs. In addition to working with Jazze Pha, who produced most of the album, Lil Jon, and Garrett, she worked with several other Atlanta-based writers and producers including

. R&B singer R. Kelly wrote and produced a track. When talking about the album's theme, Ciara said it was universal, stating, "It's about everybody. You'll have songs with different emotions, happy, sad, 'my heart is broken.' What everybody goes through." On her success with the preluding title track, Ciara said, "I'm very content right now. I take everything a day at a time. Every time I hear good news, I'm shouting out, 'Praise God.' Everybody around me is so excited, I still haven't got it. I haven't really felt it like they're feeling it for me."

Singles

''Goodies''' lead single, the title track, featuring Petey Pablo, was released on June 8, 2004. Conceived as a crunk female counterpart to Usher's " Yeah," the lyrical content goes against the grain, speaking of

, rejecting advances because "the goodies will stay in the jar". Critics hailed it as an "anthem of the summer" and one of the best singles of the year, complementing its dance-feel and beat, and the irony of the "clever" lyrics. The single performed well worldwide, topping the charts in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, and charting in the top ten of other charts, receiving Platinum certification in the United States. The music video shot for the song features Ciara partying with friends. " 1, 2 Step", featuring

The song performed well worldwide, appearing the top ten of seven charts, and certified either Platinum or Gold in multiple regions. The song's music video, which is similar to that of "Goodies", takes place at a block party, and was nominated for Best R&B Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. In May 2005, Ciara mentioned that the album's fourth single would be "Thug Style" or "Pick Up the Phone" - or maybe even "And I". The final choice, " And I", was released on August 30, 2005, and only managed to peak at ninety-six on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The music video for "And I" is loosely based on the 1992 film, '' The Bodyguard'', and NBA player Carmelo Anthony portrayed Ciara's love interest. In December 2005, ''The Washington Post'' reported that "Hotline" would be the album's fifth single, but the release failed to materialize.

Legacy

Following the release of her debut single " Goodies", Ciara was dubbed the Princess of Crunk&B by various media outlets. In the early and mid-2000s, " Goodies" joined other crunk music hits produced by

"With the Crunk era at its peak, Ciara added a sexy female perspective to the gritty punk-influenced genre, and — along with the likes of fellow ATLien Usher — helped create the subgenre now aptly referred to as Crunk&B. ..the young songstress separated herself from an all-star pack of new singers that included

, Ashanti, Nivea and the juggernaut trio, Destiny’s Child. As she rose to the top of the charts, CiCi was often compared to greats ranging as far back as

to the late Aaliyah". He concluded:

"Goodies is often referred to as Ciara’s best work and for good reasoning. It was with this album that the return of R&B to Atlanta was pushed further as it served as a solid follow-up to the release of Monica’s 2003 “After the Storm” and Usher’s iconic “Confessions” album that was released just months before. And at a decade and a half later, the album still resonates with today’s pop culture. The album’s vibe is one that patents its own signature choreographed flow — both physically and vocally. Displaying perfect sequence, delivery, and explosiveness thanks to the crunk-injected 808s, Goodies helped set the standard for a new era of talented R&B stars."

Rob Copsey also wrote on the album's impact for the OCC. "Ciara had immediately established herself on the global stage ... Goodies was a hit in Australia and most of Europe, earning her the dubious title a 'Princess of Crunk&B'". He continued, "16 years on, the influence of Goodies can be felt, most notably on the debut single by Normani, Motivation, on which the former Fifth Harmony singer pays homage to Goodies and several other quintessential '90s/'00s music videos in her visual". Several recording artists have also cited singles from ''Goodies'' or the album itself as an influence or personal favorite of theirs, such as Normani, Ari Lennox,
